Gaddafi to stay ‘until the end’: spokesman
Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi will stay in the country “until the end” to lead it to victory against its enemies, a government spokesman said on Thursday. Speaking after former Foreign Secretary Moussa Koussa defected and flew to Britain on Wednesday, the spokesman said Western air strikes against Libya had only united its top leadership against “a clear enemy”.

Libyan rebels’ Islamist ties cause concern
A Canadian intelligence report written in late 2009 called the anti-Gaddafi stronghold of eastern Libya an “epicentre of Islamist extremism” and said “extremist cells” operated in the region, now being defended by a Canadian-led NATO coalition.
The report by the government’s Integrated Threat Assessment Centre said “several Islamist insurgent groups” were based in eastern Libya and mosques in Benghazi were urging followers to fight in Iraq.
“Within the region, the population holds more conservative views compared to the rest of Libya and Islamist activism is strongly concentrated,” said the report labelled ‘‘secret’’ and released to the National Post under the Access to Information Act.

‘He must go’: World leaders call for Gaddafi exit
Muammar Gaddafi’s better armed and organized troops reversed the westward charge of rebels and world powers meeting in London piled pressure on the Libyan leader to end his 41-year rule.
British Prime Minister David Cameron, opening the London conference, accused Libyan troops of “murderous attacks”, while U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said military strikes would press on until Gaddafi loyalists ceased violence.
“All of us must continue to increase the pressure on and deepen the isolation of the Gaddafi regime through other means as well,” Ms. Clinton said after the London talks finished.

Libyan rebels advance on Gaddafi’s hometown
A rebel advance westwards towards Tripoli, which was halted Monday by Muammar Gaddafi’s troops about 140 kilometres (85 miles) east of the strongman’s hometown Sirte, resumed later in the day, an AFP reporter said.

Coalition forces: Why Libya?
International forces launched military action in Libya, but in Bahrain and Yemen — where 50 protesters were shot dead by pro-government snipers — the allies have offered nothing more than the verbal equivalent of a slap on the wrist.
